RE: [stellation-res] SQL name length question 
I clipped the discussion accidentally... But if you decide to try to do
the database abstraction plugin: we'll be glad to treat it as a
Stellation subproject, and give you space to host it, as long as you
use Stellation as a testcase for  it.

Ringo De Smet pointed out an early attempt to try to do something like
that on SourceForge. If you go back into the mailing list archives,
you should be able to find where he mentions it. It was within the first
week or two of the mailing list.

I'd like to do perl, because it's the scripting language that I tend to
do most. But I suspect it'll be incredibly hard to write a really good
query component for it. Perl's a really useful language, but the
semantics are really twisted, and the amount of context-sensitivity
that an analysis tool would need to deal with is really daunting.
But it's a possibility.
